#vanilla install

sorry for the long hiatus on the mac front. just finished papers today. there're a couple of things i want to get down to doing, first of which is to vanilla install snow leopard (maybe lion, i haven't quite decided) on my mac. So i'm in the middle of transferring my documents and photos and music out to the server, following which i'm going to do a full reinstall, which hopefully will get my mac back to brand new. I'm also doing a time machine back up in case anything goes wonky.

hopefully i'll be able to document the entire install process - a couple of things i'm doing before i actually get down to reformatting:

Transfer files and folders

Time machine back up
